Juniper Moon Farm Cape Knitting Pattern

Pearl from Juniper Moon Farm takes solid color Cumulus and pairs it with variegated Cumulus Dappled to create fun and colorful layers for kids and adults. With options for both a slipover and a poncho included in this pattern, you've got an easy way to make coordinating family sets or have a handmade layer ready for a child's next growth spurt. Both garments are knit flat in pieces from the bottom up in stripes of stockinette, garter stitch, seed stitch, and simple slip-stitch patterns that work with the colorful yarns to add extra texture and interest. As an added bonus, instructions to make a simple headband with your project leftovers are also included. Stitch patterns are written out only.
